But officially I think we probably want to give people some modding ability just so they leave our game alone. Just give them enough creative outlet to keep them busy rather than them thinking of all of the destructive things that they could do.

How DARE someone have the audacity to mess with HIS GAME?

How DARE someone not even bother to experience something for what it is and instantly tear it a new one because THEIR vision is magically better?

I know I'm dragging in the "modding yay or nay" discussion a bit but I wish folks that just immediately start tearing a game apart because it "sucks" and fiddle with it would actually go and attempt to make their own game. We'd have a lot of cool unique games to play I bet.

And in reality, Hello Games made a product and put it on the market; it's still their game. You can't fault an artist for wanting to protect the integrity of his work. This is why Weird Al asks permission before doing parodies; out of respect for people's work.

15 year olds on the internet who probably pirated NMS in the first place, have no such respect.
